Wow. I'd love to have a collection of Our Gang figurines like that, but I'm afraid that the $5,950 price tag is about $5,925 beyond my budget. I had trouble at first figuring out which doll was supposed to be Jackie Condon, but I think it's the one wearing blue.

I had trouble at first figuring out which doll was supposed to be Jackie Condon, but I think it's the one wearing blue. I've been wondering about that too. At first, I thought the one in blue might have been Mary (with darker hair). Now, I'm not so sure who's who! Incidentally, there was a letter from Hal Roach to the person who developed these dolls sold on eBay some time ago. In it, Roach mentions his confusion as to why Mickey and Joe are called "Freckles" and "Fatty". He also mentions that the Farina doll was the most popular of the five.

The way that I surmised the identities of the three figurines that could possibly be confused with each other is by matching them up with the picture of the five Gangsters on the box. Since Mary Kornman is wearing a dress, it looks to me as if the figurine on the far left must be her. I think that Mickey Daniels is the doll in the striped pants and cap, since those articles of clothing seem to most closely reflect what he's wearing on the box. That leaves Jackie Condon as the probable boy in blue.

Well, they are definitely rare. But who is going to pay 6 grand for dolls that do not look like the people they are supposed to be?

Good point. A better deal would be the actual dolls used in "Mary, Queen of Tots." If only someone had the foresight to keep and preserve them.

Those are amazing. As for the dolls on "Mary, Queen of Tots," I've wondered if anyone has kept props that were used for production. It would be so cool to see some of those things today.
